Hi I just surveyed of instrument shops (USA) for used few years old national resophonics. It seems to be so that their prices have dropped to more reasonable level (for my wallet). Do you have any experience of ordering used instrument overseas? Is it worth of trying? Pertti P. |

Hi,Yes I have some experience of this.The problem's not in the USA but when it arrives here.The Yanks seem to insist on insurance.That means when it gets here it will go right into customs and they will give you a real caning.Then it will be delivered by Parcel Farce and they will charge you £13.50 just to allow you to pay any customs charges.If I were you I'd get on a plane and pick it up!! ;D

I think that they have dropped quite a lot. I suppose they are still making them so there will be more on the market - supply and demand etc.
Cheapest Nat Resophonic I've seen has been pon eBay.co.uk - £750 for a Delphi - Interestingly it did'nt sell the first time around for £700.
Bare in mind that you can get a Triolian copy for £140 and $99 in the states. So prices are fluctuating a little.
Don't see any price drops in original Nationals or handmades though
